Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products production quantity (Element 5510) for item Fat of camels, 2020-2024. For fat of camels production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 fat of camels production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the fat of camels production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For fat of camels production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
